[Anthony Hamilton]
We play to win, just to find the dark
Go home again, and we both fall out
I wanna spend this time with you
Doing nothing
Keep you satisfied, while they rob us blind
I hear the music in the background
Singing, singing
Oh, I haven't see the glory
Coming, coming, coming
And we play
We play, we play, we play like a...
Just like a carnival
Game, just like a carnival
Laugh, just like a carnival
Joke, just like a...
Spinning me round and around and around
Just like a carnival
We play to win, just to find the dark
Go again, and we both fall out
I wanna spend this time with you
Doing nothing
We... just like a carnival
We laughed, just like a carnival
Sleep with the dead, just like a carnival
Playing with your mind, just like a...
Spinning me round and around and around
Just like a carnival, yeah
[Choir]
We have to wake up x7
[2D & (Choir)]
It's made up of junk (We have to wake up x4)
Sitting in wood (We have to wake up x4)
Ripe in the passport tree (We have to wake up x4)
Stepped in the light (We have to wake up x4)
Oh, then the tree came down (We have to wake up x4)
Seven hours more
[Anthony Hamilton]
Play, just like a carnival
Game, just like a carnival
Laugh, just like a carnival
Joke, just like a carnival
Spinning me round and around and around
Huh? Just like a carnival, yeah
